The cheapest man alive contest
http://memes.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/4a...e-04d9ebbd1aeb
Let's get away from politics for a bit.
I'm wondering if there is anyone out there cheaper than me.
I just checked the mail and there was this letter from some charity trying to get me to donate to them. In the little window thing in the envelope I could see a nickel. I tore that part of the envelope open, took out the nickel, put it in my pocket and threw the rest in the trash. Can anyone top that?

I will tear paper towels in half, or even tear smaller pieces off, to avoid wasting a whole sheet. And we are talking the smaller 'select-a-size' sheets.

So, for TP, are you a one sheet at a time guy, per the Sheryl Crow method?

You got me beat there.
I buy the select a size, but that's as far down as I'll go.
My wife on the other hand is like you.
Which isn't a problem most of the time.
However if I am driving during allergy season and I ask her to get me something out of the glove box so I can blow my nose, she'll tear off one of her tiny little scraps and hand it to me.
I can sling an amazing amount of snot when I blow my nose during allergy season and most of the rest of the year too for that matter.

There was a rumor when I was in basic training that we were only allowed one sheet of toilet paper per man per day and that when we had used up our ration there would be no more.
It wasn't true.

I'm going to do you a favor and not explain my toileting practices, experiences, or adventures.
This is a large favor, believe me. I expect you to be very grateful.

OK. be a prude.
I'll share mine.
I wrap my hand up in toilet paper so that it's about the size of a 16 ounce boxing glove. Then I wet it in the sink and then use that to clean myself.
I like to keep dingle berries to a minimum.
Of course sometimes this practice makes it necessary to flush more than once.

So you are supposed to use a 47 cent stamp to mail back the nickle?
